Masks of Venice
Just got back from my first trip to Venice...Wow!
The city reminded me of a huge maze. You could easily get lost and we did! Even with the street map.
Venice stretches across 117 small islands and has 150 channels and 409 bridges.
Masks made the Venetial carnival unique. If you cannot identify the wearer of the mask, you do not know his social status. In this way Venice temporarily overturned her social order. Laws were passed to limit the wearing of the masks during the carnival period only. If they were worn out of that period severe penalties were enforced.
This song by Jason Mruz was playing out of a couple of the cafes while we were walking round and it will forever remind me of my stay there. Funny how you relate songs to different places. Have a listen and I guarantee that you will be humming it for the rest of the day!

Very cool shot! I have one almost similar in my stream of some Mardi Gras beads that I took at a Cajun/Creole Music festival this year.
